Four Lines, All Waiting	comment	There are advantages and disadvantages to having an Ensemble Cast. Giving each character A Day in the Limelight can be time-consuming as the focus rotates along the cast. To speed things up a bit, some authors use such formulas as Two Lines, No Waiting and Third Line, Some Waiting, in which an episode shifts focus from one group of characters to another, thus creating multiple Plot Threads. Movies in a competitive market do tend to "juggle" actors as a form of multitasking in hopes of winning over the audience. This can often backfire if audiences complain the movie prioritized quantity over quality of characters and neglected giving them proper depth. And then there's Four Lines, All Waiting: When a show—typically a Soap Opera, although any Soaperized show will do—maintains four or more concurrent plotlines advancing simultaneously throughout an episode. Sometimes every episode of a season. The episodes are structured like a miniature Soap Wheel cycling through a day's worth of events in "real time", going from one group of people to another and then starting the cycle anew.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_1835ca75	comment	Cursed (2020) has several plotlines going on at once, some more interconnected and given more prevalence than others. By the end of Season 1, few have been resolved. The A-plot concerns the Red Paladins committing genocide against the Fey and Nimue going on the run with the Sword of Power to deliver it to Merlin, hoping he can save them. About halfway through though, she decides she's going to use the Sword to fight back against the Paladins herself. When Merlin learns about the Sword's reappearance, he decides to steal some Fey Fire from the lepers to destroy it, which takes up several episodes. Then when he realizes Nimue is his daughter, his motive switches to trying to keep her out of harm's way; all the while he's trying to keep out of trouble with Uther and other people he's ticked off. Merlin's storylines generally form the B-plot. Uther wants the Sword for himself to secure his power especially when he learns he's not actually the true heir and clashes with his scheming mother. Vikings led by King Cumber invade to reclaim the throne and the Sword, and get caught up in the conflict between the Paladins and the Fey they eventually side with the former. Another band of Vikings led by the Red Spear (who are at war with Cumber) turn up and Nimue's buddy Pym joins up with the for protection, forming a romance with one of the raiders. The Weeping Monk starts getting an attack of conscience as he hunts down the Fey culminating in him turning on the Paladins to save Squirrel and going on the run. Arthur tries to reclaim his honor, initially in dubious ways such as stealing the Sword before he becomes devoted to protecting Nimue and helping the Fey, leading to a romance with Nimue. Morgana, grieving for her murdered lover and struggling with a sense of powerlessness, is tempted to make a deal with a dark goddess for magical power. Sister Iris sets out to prove herself to the Paladins by trying to get close to and kill Nimue.

First, there's the primary storyline about the kids faking a summer camp and maintaining the facade. Then there's the four kids' various Character Developments, each of which takes up varying amounts of screentime. There's a plotline about Dennis owing money on an AMC Gremlin, complete with a debt collector on Dennis' tail. And then there are separate subplots about the five leads each getting a piece of the Token Romance pie—Dennis/Celeste, Mud/Gaby, and Zack/Trish. Finally, there are some minor subplots including one character fixing up a classic car, and a minor character goading another minor character into Skinny Dipping.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The Arrancar Arc was an exceptionally long story arc; Tite Kubo introduced three brand new groups of characters (the Espadas, Fracciones and Visoreds), without removing any of the already huge cast. The Espadas and Fracciones became unexpected popular, allegedly forcing Executive Meddling to insist that Kubo given each new character A Day In The Lime Light. The arc was split across two dimensions (Hueco Mundo and the World of the Living), with at least four separated groups within Hueco Mundo, and multiple one-on-one fights in the human world. The arc took years to complete and the constant switching of scenery to catch up with each group in turn became exhausting for the fandom to follow. The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc juggles as many plotlines as the Arrancar Arc, but with brisker, more consistent pacing. There's the group training in the Royal Realm; the Gotei survivors in Seireitei picking up the pieces and trying to prepare for the next invasion; Yhwach and his Quincies embroiled in internal politics; a Hueco Mundo group consisting of Arrancar, Urahara, Chad and Orihime; Kukaku and Ganju training three Fullbringers in Rukongai; the remaining Visoreds tackling the tears in space-time; and the spiritually-aware humans dealing with Ichigo's possible departure. Many of these threads consolidated and came together after 2-3 years of storyline, much faster than the Arrancar Arc took.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_1d591bd1	comment	The Irate Gamer seems to be falling into an unfocused plot. In his Cool Spot review, his Evil Twin manages to steal his Mangavox Odyssey and create robots based on the HAL AI in it. The RoboCop review sees the return of R.O.B. from his Stack-Up and Gyromite review, this time as an ally who was sent out to destroy the invading HAL robots. His He-Man review was promoted as the "Robot War Aftermath", but the war was ignored, focusing instead on the Irate Gamer obtaining a "Sword of Inferno" from a monk. His Silver Surfer (1990) review actually dealt with the aftermath of the robot war, but also introduced an Eldritch Abomination called the Pixel Demon, which was released after the Silver Surfer game was beaten.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes. The format is such that you have multiple characters with powers dealing with the day to day implications and difficulties thereof. Their troubles can grow to be so isolated and insular it's a wonder they interact at all. Occasionally, these characters do meet and then go on their way due to a strange kind of "fate interconnectedness" (a bit of a show theme). The third season has everyone's complicated stories and bloodlines interconnected to the point where trying to comprehend it all is a leading cause of aneurysms. Basically, when Heroes is good, you get Two Lines, No Waiting, occasionally dipping into Third Line, Some Waiting. When it gets bad, it jumps into "everything happens at once and nothing makes sense." Basically, Third Line, Some Waiting is a tightrope that easily lets you fall into this trope.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_2c2a56e3	comment	The finale of The Phantom Menace cuts rapidly between four separate battlesâ€”the lightsaber duel between Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, Queen Amidala and her troops' hunt for Nute Gunray, the Gungans' blockade against the battle droid invasion, and the space battle against the droid command center above Nabooâ€”which would not be an example of this trope if they didn't vary so wildly in tone. The rest of the movie also has the Anakin plot, the Sith mystery, the invasion story, and the political maneuvering plot. In behind the scenes footage, George Lucas says he "may have gone too far in a few places" but that it's too late to cut anything out and still have it make sense. Each successive Star Wars film has additionally added a plot thread to their climax: A New Hope has the Death Star trench run (1 thread); The Empire Strikes Back has Luke's duel with Darth Vader, while Leia and co. escape from Cloud City (2 threads); The Return of the Jedi has Luke confronting Vader and the Emperor, the Rebel commandos on Endor attacking the shield generator, and the Rebel fleet attacking the Death Star (3 threads); and as mentioned above, The Phantom Menace has 4 threads. Later films cut back to two threads maxnote Attack of the Clones had the ongoing battle of Geonosis while Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Yoda chased Dooku; Revenge of the Sith had Anakin versus Obi-Wan and Yoda versus Palpatine; The Force Awakens had Finn, Chewie, Han, and Rey on the surface with Poe and Black Squadron in the air; and The Last Jedi had Luke confronting Kylo Ren while everyone else escaped Crait., with the exception of The Rise of Skywalker, which had threenote Rey and Kylo Ren versus Palpatine, Finn trying to take down the comm tower, and Poe battling the Final Order in the air.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto The manga looked like it was doing this (or Third Line, Some Waiting) with Konoha, Taka, Pain, and the rest of the Akatsuki, but as of the Shinobi World War, the plot lines have converged (except one which just ended) and more or less all happen within the same issue or so. The anime seemed to try to lessen the effect of this by switching around the order of events to keep the narrative more on one story line at a time (for instance, in the manga, Sasuke finally finding Itachi and then fighting him was split up into two halves with Jiraiya's investigation of Pain in the Rain Village between them, while in the anime those two storylines happened separately and in their entire length at once).

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: Having a major group of characters, especially after Volume 3, results in this trope being achived at least twice. Ironically enough, in both cases, one group will always end up waiting for something to happen which is coincidentally when the other plots are either done or close to wrapping up. After Volume 3 scatters the titular team, Volume 4 regularly cycles through six simultaneous plots: Ruby and Team JNPR travel through Anima to investigate Cinder; Weiss is trapped in Atlas by her abusive father; Blake travels to Menagerie with Sun to address personal issues; Yang stays in Vale with her father as she recovers from trauma; the villains start putting their wider plan into motion; and a mysterious new character is introduced. Volume 5 slowly ties them all together, with the Volume Finale reuniting the group. Volume 8 had a similar story where RWBY splits (though it's more that Yang leaves the group to tackle a different problem from them), as well as focusing on not just the villains, but also Qrow's subplot after he was separated from the group. Near the end of the Volume, RWBY reunites once more.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_36570e3	comment	The Amazing Spider-Man 2: from many critics who felt that the film tried to cram in too many villains and subplots to its overall detriment. We have: The main plot of Electro going From Nobody to Nightmare and lashing out at the city by hijacking the power grid of his own design. Naturally, Spider-Man is the only one who can stop him. Peter and Gwen's rocky relationship, with their tension stemming from their mutual desire to be together while Peter is trying to uphold his promise to Gwen's father to keep her safe by avoiding her. Gwen, on the other hand, wants to prove to Peter that it's hers and Peter's choice to be together, not her father's, and that her path in life is her own to choose. Compounding this is that Gwen is planning to move to England to attend Oxford University. Peter is torn between moving with her and sticking to his responsibilities in New York. Peter is trying to hide his life as Spider-Man from Aunt May, while May is trying to hide working at the hospital from Peter. Like the Sam Raimi trilogy, it's also made ambiguous whether or not Aunt May knows Peter is Spider-Man anyway. Harry Osborn returns to New York and takes over Oscorp after his father Norman dies of a genetic illness he inherited. Harry desperately wants to be cured and thinks that Spider-Man's blood is the key, but Peter is afraid that giving his blood to Harry could kill him sooner. Harry takes this poorly and attempts to kill Peter and Gwen after a dose of Oscorp spider venom mutates him into the Green Goblin. The Oscorp conspiracy: Richard Parker discovered that Oscorp was planning to weaponize his genetic research. Richard destroyed his research and attempted to live as a fugitive but he and his wife were assassinated. Oscorp framed the Parkers for trying to sell the research to foreign powers, which Aunt May fell for and sees Richard as a Broken Pedestal. Oscorp has been continuing their genetic research using human test subjects held at Ravencroft Institute, and frame Harry after the Lizard incident causes their stock value to plummet. Peter learns about his parents' deaths and the weaponization of his father's research while continuing his investigation from the first film. He also learns that the spider that bit him was genetically modified with Richard's DNA, explaining why Peter got his superpowers. After Harry kills Gwen and is imprisoned at Ravencroft, The Man In the Hat speaks to him about forming the Sinister Six to fight Spider-Man, with all members using Oscorp technology. Their first recruit: Aleksei Sytsevich, a Russian mobster who Spider-Man captured trying to steal plutonium at the beginning of the film.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_37a71462	comment	Somewhat in Les MisÃ©rables; all plot threads tie together and primarily only alternate between the views two main characters. The problem is that the story only takes up about half the book. The other half is Hugo's long, insightful ramblings about everything. The hair-raising adventures of Jean Valjean will be periodically interrupted by hundred page-long discourses on the daily lives of nuns, the definition of slang, and the sewer systems of Paris. This will lead to something of a One Line All Waiting situation.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_37ee9dd3	comment	Doonesbury has been running with this trope for the last 30 years. It was originally focused on a group of college kids living together in a commune, and only occasionally strayed from that setting. But in the mid-80's, creator Garry Trudeau decided to abandon the Sliding Timescale and have the cast graduate. All of them moved to different parts of the country and took on different jobs and roles. Rather than abandon any of the characters, Trudeau continued to focus on ALL of them, switching between their various plotlines from week to week. As new characters were introduced, many of them would also strike out on their own and be given storylines. It's gotten to the point where a reader could follow the strip for years without having any idea what many of these characters have to do with each other.

Cottonmouth, seen as the most compelling of the villains, doesn't even die by Luke's hand, but is killed by Mariah. Granted, this is arguably justified because all four of them are normal humans whereas Luke has Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability, so any direct fight would have ended very badly for them. This is the reason Diamondback's plot involved finding a means to kill him.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_58907201	comment	Sinfest has slowly but surely become a great example of this trope. At first it was just a daily strip which rarely had any sort of storyline, much less a serious storyline, though there was the occasional arc of comics, but nothing serious. As time went on, Tats (the artist/writer) started to include more lengthy and meatier plots that were legitimately serious in nature, but usually he was focused on just that one plot alone. The most famous and celebrated Sinfest storyline being the romance between the devil girl Fuchsia and the human nerd Criminy that took up most of the strip's issues, but it had a clear beginning, middle, and end. As more time went on and Tats put in more world building for the setting and more backstory for the characters, many plotlines have started, many of which are going to this very day. Now Sinfest has an absurd amount of ongoing plots, some of which just pop in and get dropped, some new ones joining into the mix, and many of which started years ago and seem to have no end in sight. For example, Lil E gained amnesia and is slowly regaining his memories and the audience are learning more about his past, which was given some backstory in strips way before the amnesia. Lil E got amnesia in 2011, and his mysterious past has been hinted at many times before, but five years passed with Lil E only slightly closer to learning about himself than he was when the plot started, plus there are hints of a connection with a totally different character, Vainglorious, who himself has his own mess of plotlines.

However, despite having five or six separate plot threads, the episode manages to juggling them by making them all highly interwoven. For example, the start of Hayley's story (land development drives the local wildlife away) causes a critical moment in Steve's story (Steve gets attacked by a wolf), which is heavily connected to Roger's story. Similarly, Klaus, Stan, and Francine ultimately all have the same story, but they begin at separate points. Also, most of the stories resolve themselves in a single location.

Some of the major plots include Winston trying to reunite the long-defunct Overwatch, Talon planning to instigate a war between Omnics and humans, Jack Morrison/Soldier: 76 and Ana Amari wandering Egypt as vigilantes, South Korea and Russia dealing with increasing tensions against various robot threats, Sombra's agenda against a bigger conspiracy behind Overwatch and Talon, whatever hijinks Junkrat and Roadhog are up to, etc. The game has taken an infamously long time to actually make forward progress, and the biggest reason for why Blizzard launched the sequel/expansion Overwatch 2 is to form a basis for PvE and story campaigns, a platform for actual ongoing expansion and change in the narrative department, starting with Overwatch finally assembling and returning to action.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_6bcd58c7	comment	Averted, and very well, in Sin City. While you can see some characters talk on the background, some of them are recognizable, or even main characters, their story WILL be expanded on next storylines and issues, and most of these storylines occur in a single frame of time, characters with their own story crossing each other. A particular example is in 'The Hard Goodbye', as Marv enters Kadie's bar, we see how Dwight appears in a bar, as Shellie, a dancer, picks him up, and is in his story, 'A Dame To Kill For'.

For much of the season, episodes alternated between the two crews, allowing the show to more manageably juggle episodic and arc plots. Ironically, the copy of John Crichton involved in the more arc-oriented episodes was the one who didn't survive.

Meanwhile, there's also the "7 Dreams/Nightmares" collection, telling the stories of the G2 mane cast before and after the Class 2 apocalypse that ended that period; due to being a group effort, this collection updates sporadically and infrequently (Pinkie naturally lampshades this).

It's not so bad in season one where there's only three major storylines to keep track of (King's Landing, the Wall, and the Dothraki), but season two attracted some heavy criticism for its pacing issues; suddenly many more characters have their own individual storylines, to the point that the show has to leave one or two out of every single episode, or just give them one scene that comes out of nowhere and leaves just as fast. The second-to-last episode of the season was widely praised because it devoted all of its fifty minutes to the Battle of Blackwater, with no cutaway scenes at all.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Based on A Song of Ice and Fire as mentioned in the literature section, it naturally runs into this. It's not so bad in season one where there's only three major storylines to keep track of (King's Landing, the Wall, and the Dothraki), but season two attracted some heavy criticism for its pacing issues; suddenly many more characters have their own individual storylines, to the point that the show has to leave one or two out of every single episode, or just give them one scene that comes out of nowhere and leaves just as fast. The second-to-last episode of the season was widely praised because it devoted all of its fifty minutes to the Battle of Blackwater, with no cutaway scenes at all. Season three improves by the crew showing more confidence in leaving out several storylines entirely from each episode. By the end of Season 4, the series is following the Lannisters and Tyrells at court in King's Landing, Stannis' court at Castle Black, Daenerys' court in Meereen, Tyrion and Varys bound across the sea, Jon and Sam with the Night's Watch, Sansa and Littlefinger in the Vale, Arya bound for Braavos, Bran and his companions with the three-eyed raven, Brienne and Podrick in the Riverlands, and Roose, Ramsay, and Reek at Winterfell. Naturally, the finale of Season 5 involved resolving or wiping out several of these ongoing plots in one episode. Season 6 eliminated even more with massive amounts of character death (even for a show known for Anyone Can Die) and new alliances, consolidating the show so Season 7 can return to the familiar "King's Landing - the North/Wall - Daenerys" structure of the first season.

Storylines such as the identity of Menace, the mystery of Harry's return, the election of a New Mayor of New York, and the Spider-Tracer murders were all milked for all they were worth for an entire year, and mostly resolved within a single storyline. Creators have gone on record saying they intended to touch base on the plot threads a lot more in the year prior, but ran out of time. This is despite having at least three times the length as any other series to make such plans. And that didn't stop plotlines in the next two years from being milked for all they were worth and not resolved until the "big finale" of Brand New Day - Origin of the Species.

In the first two seasons the Myth Arc became more apparent as the characters get deeper and deeper into the situation, resulting in Two Lines, No Waiting as the mystery is being solved and the relationship between these plotlines is made clear. The third season opens with a Russian black site managing to crack a hole back to the Upside Down and Billy being snagged by the Mind Flayer. This left very few mysteries to be unraveled, as the audience knows for several episodes that Joyce and Hopper's investigation into fridge magnets, Steve and Dustin overhearing Russian Spy Speak at the mall, Nancy and Jonathan looking into rabid rats and the other kids confronting Billy are all connected; all the while these different groups don't fully intersect until the last episode.

The prologue sets up Queen Chrysalis engaging in an unknown plan on behalf of a resurgent Discord, potential tension over the unknown circumstances of Celestia obtaining Spike's egg, and Fancypants and Zecora of all people apparently up to shady business as well.... All of which is promptly ignored for several chapters (and over a year's worth of updates), as Twilight and Spike leave for another dimension in pursuit of the stolen Element of Magic, the remaining Mane Five have to balance their everyday responsibilities with investigating Sunset Shimmer's break-in (under the shaky supposition that the villains of the last story were involved), Celestia grows obsessed with barely-remembered tales involving the human girl Megan Williams, Rarity deals with Sweetie Belle suddenly falling ill, and a still-crazy Trixie runs around trying to put together a team of the Mane 6's old foes, to the point where it's not even clear what the plot is supposed to be. However, after the first arc ends with Trixie's Heelâ€“Face Turn and her accomplices' escape, this is greatly trimmed away, with the plot threads resolved or relegated to the background in favor of an apparently straightforward quest.

Usually, storylines will be hinted at in an episode at the beginning of the season and won't start to bear fruit until near the end. Sometimes they're hinted at in one season and start to pick up in another season. This is done surprisingly well and never really feels disorienting because you need to pay very close attention anyway to enjoy the show. The trope also grew progressively more emphatic as the series went on. If you read episode summaries on The Other Wiki, the fourth-season summaries, for instance, are about five times longer than the first-season summaries.

At the minimum, there is a meeting with the newest cast, a meeting with all of the sidekicks, all of the casts coming to one place, and demonstrations of Cures working together in various formations. They also attempt to construct a traditional plot to connect all of these threads. The sheer number of serieses involved can make it difficult to follow, as by Pretty Cure All Stars DX 3 there are six groups of characters that all need to be fit into the story. This was greatly reduced in films following Pretty Cure Dream Stars, which generally put primary focus on the current, previous, and upcoming Cure teams of the franchise.

While the show started with only two plots, each season added new cast members then gave them their own subplots, not matter how pointless and unrelated to vampires they were. It gets ridiculous by season 5, with such a multitude of plotlines that have very minimal interaction with each other that it's hard to say which one is actually supposed to be the main plot. Probably best illustrated by the restaurant/bar Merlotte's where most of the cast work, by season 6 the whole place is run by two waitresses and the two cooks, even the owner of the place is gone.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_e91422c9	comment	Countdown to Final Crisis: a) Bob the Monitor's party (Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner and Jason Todd) searching the multiverse for Ray Palmer and exploring each universe in varying detail only to get the Your Princess Is in Another Castle! screen every time while randomly pretending to kill each other for convoluted reasons. b) Mary Marvel chasing Black Adam, turning evil, chasing Eclipso, killing people, turning good, turning evil again, and beating up everyone. c) Pied Piper and Trickster running around spying on supervillains while handcuffed to each other and trying to avoid being captured by superheroes. d) The New Gods dying, and nobody being able to figure out why they're dying or how to stop it. e) Jimmy Olsen getting plagued with random superpowers and alternating between investigating the death of the New Gods, trying to be a superhero, going on angst-breaks with Superman, getting kidnapped, and getting kidnapped from his kidnapper. f) Harley Quinn and Holly Robinson getting trained as warriors by Granny Goodness disguised as Athena, teaming up with Hippolyta, and winding up on Apokalips. g) Triplicate Girl and Karate Kid getting stranded in the past and running around looking for a cure to a lethal virus. h) Superboy Prime attempting to get revenge for his planet being blown up, resulting in kidnappings and murders. i) All of this is interspersed with scenes of Darkseid playing with his action figures, heroes who have nothing to do with the plot running into the main characters, and the Monitors debating if they should do something, but never coming to a conclusion. The entirety of Countdown can be described as "Between Eight and Ten Kudzu Plotlines, All Waiting."

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_e951212	comment	Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues features a large main cast and an even bigger supporting cast that rotates out to serve their various plots. The first full day of the roleplay featured six different groups involved with six different plots, with characters sometimes skipping out of one group to interweave with another. By the end of the day most of them had met up, but there are still left various different plot hooks up for grabs.

While Osamu and provisional Squad 7 receive most of the screen time, several chapters are dedicated towards rotating the focus among the other ten squads and their own unique hurdles.

Four Lines, All Waiting / int_ed535562	comment	There are at least four ongoing plots tied together in The Secret of NIMH — Ms. Brisby trying to save her children from the farmer's plow, the Rats of NIMH trying to leave for Thorn Valley, Jenner trying to sabotage their moving plans by murdering Nicodemus in a staged accident, so in turn he can usurp leadership of the Rats of NIMH, and Jeremy the Crow trying to find a love interest. And if you count the tiny subplot of the farmer interacting with people from NIMH who are searching for the rats and plan to destroy them, that's a grand total of five. Surprisingly, the sequel directly followed up on that last plot thread.
